Unable to emerge Qt and Allegro packages

Question

Well, a time ago I knew about Gentoo and Funtoo and I liked the philosophy and how it works, then I decided to install Funtoo on my notebook (that I'm using right now). Someday I tried to install VLC and in the middle of the installation, when compiling QtGui, my notebook stopped being hot and noisy (what is normal when it's compiling packages). So I checked the processor cores with htop and it seemed like the compilation process just was dead. I waited some more minutes and nothing... I decided to cancel the installation.

Later I tried to install Aseprite and the Allegro package has needed as well, so I started emerging the packages but when my notebook was compiling Allegro just occurred an Emake error with no much details about what happened. Then I decided to install Aseprite by compiling manually (as shown on its github page) and it worked fine. Finally some days ago I tried to install nextcloud-client package that required some Qt packages and once again the installation failed but this time with an error saying that my notebook processor has not support for aes. I also tried to install G'MIC on my GIMP but I could not be able to do that; I suspect that because I don't have any Qt package and because that G'MIC (that uses Qt) does not work.

What can I do to solve this situation? I tried to use Entropy package manager but occurred some conflicts and I had to reinstall Funtoo. I also tried to install some packages with Flatpak, but it does not have some packages (qutebrowser for example). Is there a another way to install binary packages or to solve the compilation errors?

I tried to emerge nextcloud-client again and the compilation got like dead when "compiling" qtgui (as always). So I tried to emerge qtkeychain (that is a depedence of nextcloud-cliente) and...

My CPU_FLAGS_X86 (cpuid2cpuflags):

avx f16c mmx mmxext pclmul popcnt sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 sse4_2 ssse3

My make.conf:

CFLAGS="-march=sandybridge -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

MAKEOPTS="-j4"

USE="-consolekit gif gtk elogind jpeg png -systemd tiff xpm"

VIDEO_CARDS="intel"

My notebook configuration:

Intel ® Core i3-2375M

Intel® HD Graphics 3000

4GB RAM

500HD

That error message appeared but the execution of the compilation did not end (it just stopped) so I canceled it. I also check that there is no log for this emerging. This is all I have to show, I guess.

Thanks to everyone! My aes problem was solved; I could compile qtgui without problems. Although I have a doubt about if should I reinstall Funtoo Linux because I used the Sandy Bridge subarch to install this instead the generic subarch. Also the allegro emake failed again, I checked the log and seemed that a file called linux/awe_voice.h was missing (not found). Can anyone explain to me how can I solve this?

Thank you so much again! :><3 It worked for me. You just forgot (I guess) to say to emerge allegro-4.4.2-r1 before emerge aseprite, but after emerging allegro, aseprite was emerged normally. The only bad news is that this version of ase is 1.1.7 while there is already the version 1.2.11.
